Finally a word from the Mommy

If Nate could have just told everyone way back in March that all I'd have to do for him to post a blog entry was to deliver his firstborn, it certainly would have spared us all a lot of wasted energy, now wouldn't it have? Although we did get to learn some pretty entertaining things about him in the meantime :)

Many pictures of the past few days are being held captive in Nate's laptop, which I am not on right now and don't have the technological savvy to retrieve, but I will just share an oldy but goody - a picture of one of the other best days of my life, when Nate and I got married, on Webber Pond 5 years ago. I guess the name Webber had occurred to both of us at separate times, and after months of mulling it over, we decided that it was the one.


And one from yesterday - what a happy family.


There's been so many blog-worthy moments in the past few days -
At some point I'll share the extended version of Webber's amazing birth story for those who have not yet been blessed with my concise-as-always recounting of it. But as you can imagine it will take me a bit to put together 14 hours of start-to-finish play-by-play which I'm sure you're all anxiously awaiting. So thanks for your patience.

In the meantime, I must also say that Nate should get the Best Supporting Partner Award - he's met needs I didn't even know I had. He's been the most amazing, attentive partner ever. I've wondered if he took a class in it on the side.

So, my brain is mush,
nothing else matters right now.
I am a mommy and I love it.

Webber Mathieu Sylvester....

....was born Thursday, October 18th at 4:24pm in Waterville, ME. He weighed in at 5lbs 13oz, 18" healthy and hungry. This is Nate by the way, my first post. Mom was/is amazing and is very healthy and has more energy than I can believe. I wouldn't be surprised if she chimed in here later. I am posting a few pictures while I have a moment, more about the birth and first few days later........
